Chapter 958 (2/2)
Of course, Sui Xiong knew her story. But this did not make him merciful when he came to face this demon.
No matter how tragic their pasts were, after becoming demons, they were already existences that would bring disasters to the whole world. Sui Xiong was clear about the limits of what he was able to do. He had no means of saving them and free them of the shackles of such ill fates. But at least, he could relieve them from such endless pain and despair so that they could obtain eternal peace.
He did not find this justifiable. But in this world, was there really any justice to speak of?
The valiant general had felt great agony, but when he fought in countless battles, did not those people who died under his sword feel pain as well?
The princess had felt that she was in pain, but for the civilians who were poor and distressed, who died of hunger and cold, did they not work hard all year round to contribute wealth to their country and provide resources for her studies?
Not to mention that in the process of rampantly wreaking havoc and destruction, the worlds that these demons destroyed, as well as the living creatures they killed, did they all not suffer as well?
“So, don’t complain about how much pain you are in. You all are not innocent at all!” Sui Xiong coldly muttered to himself.
Waving his tentacles, he beat back the demon that possessed amazing power, whose entire body was like a rock that radiated a cold, greenish-gray light, but was now clearly nothing more than a skeleton.
“Herculean Hagrid complain no more. Let me put an end to your agony!”
The huge jellyfish flew towards the huge skeleton that was so powerful that it definitely made a worthy opponent. This time, Sui Xiong had equipped himself well with knowledge about the strengths and weaknesses of his opponent. When this demon that had such amazing brute force waved a huge club that was made of a world, Sui Xiong’s body suddenly split into two to allow that huge club to skim through from the middle. The upper and lower halves of his body were like a pair of covers that closed in on Hagrid.
Though a few minutes later, he was thrown off by Hagrid by means of its brute force, Sui Xiong was not the least daunted. Because he had already swallowed a number of this demon’s souls.
After a few rounds of such battling, the powerful demon was finally unable to gather enough strength to shake off Sui Xiong, who had been latching himself to it. Then like slime out on a hunt for prey, Sui Xiong finished off the final portion of the demon’s soul by swallowing it.
Its soul was much stronger than all the other demons’ souls. It was so strong that after Sui Xiong had completely finished it off, his body was filled with an explosive force.
And at this time, the other great Divine Powers had finally rushed their way over to the battlefield to take part in this war against the demons and Chaos, as well as to protect the world.
Though by this time, there were only a few left from the 24 demons, Sui Xiong did not feel that they had come too late.
Because he knew that these demons, though extremely strong and powerful, were practically lacking in rationality, and they behaved somewhat foolishly. The enemies that they were about to face, upon comparison, were the truly powerful and fearsome ones.
And he also knew that, even though the great Divine Powers had already arrived as soon as they could, the help they could render was, in truth, not any kind of great help.
The number of great Divine Powers was not small, but this was a figure that was once a greater Divine Power, a scary demon that could pollute and kill the God of Conspiracy with a mere touch. Those who could truly fight a battle with it would probably only be Sui Xiong and a few others.
